Introduction:

Appetizers are usually reserved for formal meals and when guests come over. They are traditionally high
in calories and often deep-fried. However, a meal consisting of a few, small, healthy appetizers can be an
interesting and varied alternative to one large unhealthy entrée.

An appetizer is part of a meal that's served before the main course. You might serve your dinner guests
an appetizer of crab-stuffed mushrooms when they first arrive for dinner.

Hot Appetizer
https://www.epicurious.com/recipes-menus/our-best-hot-appetizer-and-hors-doeuvre-recipes-gallery

• The literal difference between cold and hot appetizers is their temperature. Cold
appetizers are served in lower temperatures while hot appetizers are literally served
in higher temperatures.
• As such, hot appetizers are most of the time soup-based, made from bread, fried
meats, and other sizzling foods. On the other hand, cold appetizers are made from
fresh seafood, food wraps, and dip-based finger foods, particularly fruits and
veggies.
